I have no clue...So thats why I am here!

Post Reply New Topic

HI, my son (3 1/2) was just diagnosed with Autism, and I really have no clue what the heck to do. Sometimes I feel lost, like im on the Wrong Planet, so that is why I am here. I don't truly agree with the diagnosis, he definatly has sensory issues and he is severly verbally delayed. Maybe I am just in denial but I really dont know. I also have a six year old boy that looking back may have some minor sensory issues also. All I know is planet earth looks a long ways away!. Maybe this site will help.

If you just got a diagnosis for your son, it often takes a while before you know enough to determine whether it is accurate or not. Autism impairments vary widely, both in scope and area--so it can be hard for someone new to the disorder to see what may be obvious to someone who has lived with it for decades.

cool title

Even the diagnosis team almost had a "questioning tone" when they told me thier findings. And they said he would likely grow out of it. Now I am no expert but I am a nurse and the one chapter where we went over ASD in school, I interpreted it as a diagnosis you dont "grow out of".. I may be wrong though!

Nonsens, nobody grows out of autism!

If you are openminded and interested, WP is pure gold! Answers to parents might be a bit harsh because the people who answers the questions have lived the autism childhood themselves.

Welkome to WP
